Help local pollinators thrive by letting your lawn grow wild for the month of May. Skipping the first mow allows essential early-blooming flowers to grow—providing critical food for bees and butterflies emerging from winter. It's an easy way to support biodiversity right in your own backyard.
Track your progress by selecting one small change each week. Simple steps, like reducing water usage or skipping the lawn mower, accumulate to create a significant difference over time.
As you tackle your spring cleaning, consider giving your unwanted items a second life. Instead of throwing them away, donate, recycle, or rehome gently used items like clothes, books, and kitchenware. Community swap events, reuse centers, and online giveaway groups are excellent options for reducing landfill waste while helping others.
Label a bin "donate or rehome" and keep it out year-round—you'll be more likely to let go of what you no longer need.
Whether you start a garden, plant native wildflowers, or grow herbs in your windowsill, getting your hands in the soil is a great way to live more sustainably. Gardening reduces reliance on packaged goods, supports pollinators, and can even improve your mental well-being.
Use compost from food scraps and yard waste to feed your garden soil naturally—less waste, more nutrients..
Conserve water with easy changes like installing rain barrels, fixing leaks, and watering plants during cooler hours of the day.
Mulch your garden beds to help soil retain moisture and reduce how often you need to water.
Take advantage of longer daylight hours to save energy by opening windows, using natural light, and unplugging devices when not in use. Swap traditional light bulbs for LED.
Plug electronics into a power strip and switch it off at night to stop "phantom" energy use.
Spring is a great time to walk, bike, or carpool instead of driving solo. Reducing car trips cuts emissions and saves on fuel.
You don’t have to ditch your car entirely. Walk or bike when it makes sense. Even replacing a few short trips each week can make a difference.
We’d love to see how you’re going green this Spring. Whether it’s a wild yard for bees, a thriving herb garden, or your donation run to a reuse store.
